Lens bag for Canon 500mm F4L

[350wedge]

As above l'm looking for a bag (or similar) to carry a Canon 500 F4.

I'm aware of the Lowepro Trekker 600 but are there any alternatives? I'm not bothered about keeping the body attached to the lens.

I'd also prefer something I can carry by hand because I tend to have a rucksack with other lenses with me as well.

The original Canon case makes it far too heavy to carry any distance so after a canvas bag alternative.

Try the Kinesis long lens case....I've got a couple and they're impressive.

Hi Bob

Thanks for that, it seems like a very good option. I've been doing a search this afternoon and came across this as well.

I dont suppose you know of any UK dealers?

There weren't any when I got mine but Kinesis will ship to the UK.

I use this:

Took my 300-800 Sigma without the camera on, now takes a 500 F4 with the camera attached, lens hood reversed.
